Chicken Milanese | Keto | Nut Free recipe

Chicken Milanese a favourite meal of many, with a nut free keto twist. I aim to please and this is one recipe that will have the whole family asking for more!

If you are wondering what the difference is between a Chicken Milanese and a Chicken Schnitzel, the answer is…. parmesan. A chicken schnitzel recipe is traditionally done just with breadcrumbs. In this chicken Milanese recipe I have not only used parmesan but also used one of my all-time favourite ingredients golden flax seeds/meal. I love the earthiness of golden flax meal in recipes and as a schnitzel crumb this makes for a perfect nut-free keto recipe that allows many more people to enjoy it. Plus a super bonus is this is a suitable nut-free lunchbox recipe.

KETO CHICKEN MILANESE INGREDIENTS

Golden Flax Seeds/Meals

This really is a very easy recipe. But be like me and make sure you always have golden flax in the pantry or fridge. It is such a great ingredient to use in so many recipes that has a lovely flavour and colour (for pretty plating and photography). It is best to store flax seed in the fridge once open. Keeping it in the fridge stops the seeds from going rancid. If you only have brown flax you can use it but it will have a much stronger flavour. Golden flax seeds/meal are available in Coles supermarkets in the gluten-free aisle, or in most health and keto supply stores like Elite Health Supplements. For a simple substitute to flax, use almond meal, pepita meal or crushed pork rinds.

Cheese

Whether it is parmesan, grana padano, romano, or any hard salty cheese this recipe will work. For a completely dairy free chicken Milanese recipe feel free to substitute with nutritional yeast or even just increase the amount of herbs and golden flax.

The Herbs and Spices

I love herbs and spices! Herbs and spices have always been my most used ingredient in all my cooking since I was knee high to a grasshopper. In this recipe I used fresh lemon thyme in the crumb and fresh chopped parsley to serve. I also did sneak 1/2 a teaspoon of Italian mixed herbs too but that is totally optional. This recipe would also work amazing with fresh rosemary, marjoram, sage or oregano.

The Wash

To make this very simple and fragrant I have actually created a wash of olive oil, wholegrain mustard, lemon zest and juice.

HOW TO COOK CHICKEN MILANESE

This recipe is perfect to bake, fry or even air fry. Choose your favourite. As such a lazy cook I much prefer popping it in the oven and setting the time and doing something else, plus clean up is a breeze. If you are choosing to fry, use a little duck fat, or lard. Heat the oil to medium heat and shallow or deep fry until cooked through.

Following a ketogenic diet is rewarding in so many ways. Aside from the amazing health benefits I love finding great new recipes that deliver on flavour and satisfaction. Eating delicious wholefood ingredients I feel on top of the world. I am so grateful every day that I found this way of eating. If you haven’t committed yet or would like to try a 28 day meal plan then maybe try our Keto Life – 4 week Meal Plan complete with daily macros, recipes and a full keto meal plan (even if you eat 3 meals a day). Try it and tell me after how great you feel too. It isn’t hard you just have to start.
